2017 was the worst year of my life!
I was suffering but didn’t know that at the time.
I had 5 months of hell on Earth before I seaked help.
I final plucked up the courage and told my mum I heard voices.

I would now like to tell people my story and help others a long the way

It all began when I became interested in the afterlife and went to a group of like minded people that and the added stress of working it the NHS took its toll.

After a few weeks of attending the group I believe that I had brought some thing home with me and I became for a better word lazy.
I felt whipped and had no energy or interest in anything.

I could sleep for the voices telling me to hurt my self, you will never work again, your not worth it ect ect.

I was accused of many things at work which I honestly can't remember doing or not, these accusations became serious (no patients came to harm) and I had to leave under suspension with is a extremely long processes, of course making the voices worse

I became withdrawn and un sociable (not me at all)

5 months later I found my self on the brink of seriously hurting myself that night I was so scare to even be alone I slept on the sofa with my mum then something in my said ‘man up’ I then got up and went to bed didn’t sleep a wink but to me that was a success the day after I went to the doctors and explained everything thing and even the doctor cried and referred me to an early intervention team.

If this story sounds similar or you want to know more please ask or share yours

Top tip is let it out either out loud to a trusted friend your pets or even on paper... it really helps xxx
